Spirehouse joins Public Sector Challenge as Challenge Partner and Checkpoint Sponsor for Earth, Mynd & Shire 2026

We are delighted to announce that Spirehouse Recruitment has joined the Public Sector Challenge community as a Challenge Partner and Checkpoint Sponsor for Earth, Mynd & Shire 2026.

Taking place on Friday 11 September 2026 in the stunning Shropshire countryside, Earth, Mynd & Shire will see hundreds of participants take on a range of walking challenges across the iconic Long Mynd landscape, raising vital funds for Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation.

As part of their support, the Spirehouse team will be running one of the event checkpoints, providing encouragement and support to participants as they tackle the route and take on this unique challenge.

Supporting wellbeing, teamwork and charitable causes

Spirehouse’s involvement reflects their commitment to supporting initiatives that bring people together, encourage wellbeing and make a positive impact.

Andrew Wilkinson, Associate Director at Spirehouse, said:

“At Spirehouse, we believe that physical activity plays a powerful role in supporting both mental and overall wellbeing. So when we heard about Earth, Mynd & Shire, we knew straight away that we wanted to be involved. It’s a fantastic initiative that gets people out of the office, into the hills, and doing something genuinely positive for themselves, all while raising money for two incredible causes. We’re proud to be supporting the event as an aid station partner and can’t wait to be out on Long Mynd with everyone taking part.”
